Abstract
The article argues that chapter 5 of Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, and its universal call to holiness, is a key text in understanding the council's teaching on the laity. The article outlines the history of that section during the Second Vatican Council, tracing the origins and development of the concept of the call to holiness in the schema on the church, as it moved from a discussion of vocation to the religious life to a wider appreciation of the various forms of one baptismal call to holiness. It then looks at the post-conciliar history of the call to holiness: first in official treatments such as the 1987 Synod of Bishops and Pope John Paul ii's exhortation Christifideles Laici; and then in practical developments such as the growth of lay pastoral ministries and laity-directed new ecclesial movements and the forms of holiness canonized in an expanded communion of the saints. Finally, it looks at challenges that continued appropriation of the conciliar teaching on the universal call to holiness might face in the future, and at how the renewal of this teaching might offer the church as a whole, including its lay members, a crucial resource in its mission to the world.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
